Very few monuments to poor single childless women
No matter what they did. And they people who receive the most help are least likely to erect monuments of stone. (I don't expect real heroes want them. They'd be happier to know children are happy remembering them with a game.)
I found a few statues of Tubman on the internet when I looked for the one I knew in Boston(

)
Another in New York City:

And a church saved her New York home as a historic site:

My girlfriend lives in Maryland where she was born, and said there was a marker at Tubman's birthplace, but it isn't an historic site
